The leek demystified: How to clean and chop it
ByThe leek. Big brother to the scallion aka green onion, it has to be the dirtiest vegetable ever. But thankfully it’s a cinch to get them uber squeaky clean and fit for consumption. Former chef and test kitchen director of the now defunct Gourmet Magazine Ruth Cousineau shows us how to prepare leeks the quick and easy way, in this short video. Quick tips from the video:
To prepare chopped leeks
- cut off the ends
- slice lengthwise, remove the tough outer layers, then chop
- soak in a bowl of water while separating the leek pieces, then rinse and pat dry.
RIP Gourmet Mag, and thank you Chef!
